Yes but not at the speed of commercial aircraft, which is too slow. The Concorde was fast enough to do that. I believe going at 1000 mph should be just enough to keep you in the 'same time'. Commercial jets go at 600 mph, the Concorde went at 1400 I believe.

The earth is about 25000 miles around. A day is 24 hours. So, if you can fly at a speed of about a thousand miles an hour you should be able to maintain the same level of sunlight throught the whole trip.
Not many planes can do this, but there are certainly some. None can do it without refueling, but with mid-air refueling (military jets) or with very rapid refueling on the ground (Concord) it should not be very difficult to accomplish.l

That would depend on how fast you fly.

It is if you travel at the speed of sound, supersonic that is.
